that's 100% correctYou have to be a christian to believe in satan.
Ekimklaw doesn't like reading books (reffering to the QUESTION thread). If he did , he would have found my long post about devils biography interesting

I said Christian not Catholic. I'm interested about why you are trying to seperate the two, considering all branches of Christianity are splinter groups off Catholicism. You are trying to blame all the bad stereotypes of Christians on Catholics while worshipping every word of a book their founders put together. Very interesting indeed.by Tony1

Welcome to Satanism. What I mean by that is that you've experienced a basic realization about religion that is similar to the point arrived at by Anton LaVey, a high-school dropout circus worker who decided to start the church he figured everybody wanted to go to, as opposed to the one they felt like they must go to.It seems to me that Lucifer in the christian mythology is 100% about freedom and knowledge.

In a way it looks like the hand of God. And regarding atheist thought, it probably is.

Get used to it, Angelus. T1 gets very sensitive about Catholicism. He really seems to despise the church, but can't ever seem to put any real effort into his bashing. I don't mind his hateful anti-Catholicism or his trembling avoidance of intellectual issues, except that he really does seem to believe he's making a strong case for Christian faith.I said Christian not Catholic.

Why do you want to know? What do you want?Adam said:It seems to me that Lucifer in the christian mythology is 100% about freedom and knowledge. Whereas god wanted to keep humanity ignorant slaves, Lucifer chose to give us free will and reason. Lucifer may indeed be the enemy of an evil dictator, but hardly the enemy of mankind. Any thoughts on this?

Jesus//Thomas gospelIf those who would lead you say to you: 'Behold the kingdom is in heaven!' then the birds of heaven will be first before you, if they say to you: 'It is in the sea!' then the fish will be first before you. But the kingdom is within you, and it is without you!
